Camp Amicus Day Camps

Amicus Day Camps take place from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday to Friday in July and August. The camps focus on teaching and reinforcing social skills in a fun and safe environment. Days are spent developing social skills such as self regulation, entering and exiting conversations, understanding different perspectives, and so much more though engaging activities and real-world experiences. The two-week camps provide ample opportunity for campers to have fun and practice the social skills they learn. With a variety of activities offered throughout the day, there is something for every camper and opportunities to try new things. The programming at Camp Amicus intentionally builds self esteem and confidence while encouraging long lasting friendships.
